I've got some more powerful bulbs in from Halfords. Cant remember what they were but supposedly 85% brighter but don't seem to make a huge difference. I think the beam is just too low, not necessarily not bright enough.

If you think it's too low, adjust it up. That would be the same for all cars, as towing adjusters just move them down further.

My problem with brighter lights, is that if everyone uses them, you're back to square 1. And yes Barbs, the idea is that you use main beam, when nothing is coming towards you, and dip your lights for them to pass.

I do that but sometimes it feels like I am the only one dipping headlights....

That's because there are too many selfish people who only think of themselves, and put illegal strength bulbs (over 100w) in their headlamps, dazzling all oncoming traffic. If you do likewise, they will just move to 140w or even 200w bulbs.

New lamps bought for dipped headlights. Have looked at the details in the manual posted by Mkstevo. If anyone has changed them please tell me its easy. Last time I changed a light bulb in a car it was a Triumph Dolomite now that was easy....
